Gehenna According to Boston.

From the Boston Record.
One OF the best and brightest girls oil
the Back Bay teaches Sunday
school class in acertain famous Ortho-
dox church. Recently she grew
very earnest picturing to the eager i'm
fants who surrounded her the joys of
heaven to be won by those who live
and trust in way to deserve them.
"You must love the lord" said she,
"and be just as good as you know
how to be. You must never get into
tempers, you must never tell naughty
stories, you must always mind your
mammas, and be good in every way
you know how, and then you will be
sure to go to heaven when you die.
Won't that be nicer
Eyes, ma a'am," lisped all the babies
before her.
"But if you are bad" and she look.
ed relentingly into the innocent faces
before her, ''you won't 90 to heaven.
If you are bad, and she took firLl
grip on the doctrine she felt called on
to teach-''if you are bad, my dear
children, you will 60 to hell, and that
that" she groped for word and
ended eloquently, land that would
be perfectly ridiculous"

The Whole story.

The Boston Transcript tells of IL
tie grill in that city who wandered
away from home and into neighbours
house and how her mother told large
Newfoundland dog which was in the
habit Of playing with her to 90 and
find her. The dog obeyed. ran TO the
neighbor's house, and when some la
dies went in, in the words Of cur Bos-
ton friend, rushed up to Nellie, seized
her dress with his teeth and began
dragging her to the door. An attempt
was made to drag him of, but he growi-
ed and held his place. The little girl
beginning to be frightened, gave up all
resistance and trotted hoEss BY bis
side, and he delivered her, with an air
Of triumph. into her mothers hansd. +
We cannot understand why our con-
temporary at Boston should not tell
the whole story. Modesty must prob
ably, however, be the real cause. Ihe
facts are that this large, intelligent
dog, when he arrived at the house.
after glanclng up at the number and
throwing away his cigar. rang the
door bell, and to the lady who re-
sponded. said:
Madam, bslieve there's . little
girl here whom want =
'I guess not, replied the woman.
''and unless you go away shall call
the police"
That's all right, =" continued the in
telligent Boston dog. as he hrushed
past her into the room. ''but this is the
girl ! want. and she must coue right
along with me. = She accordingly trotr'
ted away with him and hG soon deliv-
eyed her to her mothers hands With
these remarkable words: Here your

The Tactics Of Zee and STeade

The Tactics of Lee and Meade.
Philadeldhia Ledger.
It was Lees purpose when he came
into Pennsylvania that he would not
take tactical offensive that Is,
that be would not attack his advero
sary, but compel that adversary to at
back him. There is evidence indeed
that he made promise to that effect
to his corps commanders because of
the danger to him in case of failure
growing out Of his distance from his
base of supplies and the necessity Of
recrossing the Potomac. But Meade
knew all that, too, aSSd it SO fell out
shat Lee had to make the attack.
How fierce and persistent that WAS
and how it was finally repulsed eli
may know to-day. But all do not
know that, after 1t was 90 repulsed,
lee baffled and beaten, lay in wait all
the following day TO entice Meade in
TO q counter attack, for which be had
the fresh divisions Of Hood and Mo
Laws TO give Meade just the disas-
tr0us reception that Meade had given
him, and which the Philadalphia bri-
RHde had given to pickett's charging
coIumn on the Sd Of July Meade
knew his men, and he knew, too, the
implinenk hazard Of the situation too
well TO impern his own vital guccess.

What was he to say to the blackmoor
when she appeared? He could not sub
NIT to be hunted down in this way.
She must be made to understand clear
ly that he would have nothing to do
with her, and tonight he would start
for Paris enroute for some place, the
further from England the better.
The door opened. He shut the book
nervously. The apparltion of the night
before loomed in the doorway. He
turned cold; it was worse by daylight
than in the evening gloom. He shut
his eyes for one second, and when he
opened them again they fell on the
sweetest, fairest face it had ever been
his lot to see. Before he could recover
from his surprise the owner of the face
was speaking.
Gen. Biddulph," she said hesita-
tingly, please forgive me fer disturb
ing you so early, but could not rest
until had seen you and apologlzed for
my nonsansical rudeness last night"
The general looked mystifed. "To
whom have 7 the pleasure of speak
ing?" he asked hurriedly.
II am Dessa DAILY"
Miss DAILY But, surely-I-that is"-
"Plea8e let me explain all ," said Miss
DAILY, quickly, her pretty face suffused
with bushes. II scarcely know how to
begin. when we landed yesterday
some people, friends of Mrs. Comyns,
met her, and when they were gone I
learnt from her that there was little
excitement about me, and-it was very
foolish of them-they wished to see
what was like. They told her you
knew nothing about me, and spirit of
mischief entered our heads, we deter
mined to play little joke on you, and
pass off Sunda here" drawing the smll-
ing black maid forward, "as me. 1t
was very, very wrong, but 1 hope you
will forgive u.s."
The general drew himself up stiffly, and
looked decidedly grim.
II don't know what papa would say
if he knew how shockingly 1 had treat
ed his old friend, continued the culprit,
her pretty head dropping gracefully;
"but Ihope--I do hope you will forgive
me-"
The general thawed. He took the
buo hJt1o uduu OuGSbIeGCuSu duu pIGSSSu
it warmly.
"Who could resist such a pleader ?"
he replied gallantly, the vision of lovli-
ness before him dispelling his wrath.
"But-thon you were not-scolding-
your maid last night?"
"No no." laughed the girl gayIy;
chat was part of my plot, 1 wanted you
to think was the most horrible crea-
ture in the world. Sunda acted that
scene all alone for your benefit"
"She was most successful" said the
general, dryly; "but will be even with
you yet, Miss Dessa, for the trick you
have played upon me. I might have
known Druce Days daughter would
have had good spice of mischief in her
composition. 1t is just the sort of thing
your father delighted to do when we
were boys together"
Dessa lifted her deep gray eyes to
his. "Then you have forgiven me?"
she said softly.
"Now-forever-alwaysl"
The generals ward was great sue
